Chapter 24: The Release

Omniscient Narrative

"So Aries" Kai said after a moment of silence. "Any girlfriends?" He asked as he continued chopping the carrots, he felt his heart move up to his throat as he asked that. He didn't know why but that question left a bitter taste in his mouth, he felt like throwing up just asking that.

And he knew it would be worse for him if Aries answers the question with the answer he wouldn't want to hear.

"What?" Aries asked acting naive, even though he had heard what the other man asked loud and clear.

"I said" Kai cleared his throat as he forced his eyes hard to stare at the carrots. "Do you have any girlfriends?" He asked making sure to choose his words wisely.

Though what he would have wanted to say was 'hey, wanna bone me?' But he decided on that.

"Kai?" Aries asked suspiciously. "What's going on? And why are you asking me that all of a sudden?" The taller man asked as he rose his brow in a questioning manner.

He heard what the man had asked the first time but he didn't know if he had heard him right, so having Kai repeat the question didn't make things better.

'Why was he asking me this?' Aries couldn't help but wonder.

"Well, I mean you're always here, so obviously if you have a girlfriend you won't have enough time to be here basically all the time" Kai explained, choosing the words nicely so as to not offend the younger man.

"Oh" Aries said. He didn't know why the smaller man had asked him about having a girlfriend and he most definitely did not know why he saying all this. "Uh, I don't have a girlfriend" Aries said

"Oh" the blond man said trying to act like the answer didn't phase him but deep down he was a little happy.

"I'll just check on the rice" Kai rushed to the rice cooker.

'he has no girlfriend' he told himself, trying to calm the happy voice in his head.

'that's good' the blond released a long breath.

'That will make things easier'

Aries watched as the small man closed the lid of the rice cooker, before he brought a frying pan from the stove.

Aries stood up and walked slowly to Kai whose back was turned to him and was facing the stove.

The blond man's breath hitched when he felt the presence of the taller younger man behind him.

Kai swallowed hard before he poured the oil in the frying pan before turning on the stove.

"You know....." Aries leaned in to the smaller man's ear and whispered making the hair on Kai's neck stand up as his breath stopped for a bit.

"Know W-what?" The blond mentally cursed himself for stuttering

"I like...." Aries hands are now moving around the blond man's waist. "no...." he paused to act like he was thinking. "I love when you cook for me" Aries added watching as Kai pour the chopped onions into the hot oil with shaky hands, sweats forming on his forehead from both the heat from the stove and from Aries's body.

"Oh" the smaller man let out. " uh...why?" He asked in a low voice

"Cause you really look like a house husband doing it....." He leaned into Kai ear, teasing the body part with his lips.

"....a really hot house husband " he then decided to be brave and bit Kai's ear, pulling it a bit and then releasing it, making the smaller man moan lowly at the feeling.

Aries with a smirk, let go of Kai's waist and moved back away from the smaller man, making Kai let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.

'Did I just moan?' The smaller man thought, as he brought his hand to his mouth, unbelieving of what he had done.

Aries leaned back on the counter, his heart started beating fast as he looked at the slightly panicking man in front of him. He couldn't see Kai's face but he knew the man had his eyes closed with embarrassment.

"We-well...I...I..if you had a girl...." Kai stuttered out not knowing what to say or how to react. "Uhh....a girlfriend you won't be having those thoughts Aries" Kai tried to play it off, though deep down he was dying deep inside.

"I don't wanna have one" the light skin man said with a frown on his face, staring hard into Kai's eyes, who had turned to face the taller man.

Kai swallowed at the answer, unsure of what to say or how to react, "Why?" Kai asked, his brain fogging up with millions of thoughts.

"Because Kai" Aries tilted his head staring right into Kai's brown eyes. "I already have my eye on someone" He said moving closer to Kai.

Kai subconsciously moved back as Aries moved towards him, his short legs moving back slowly.

"And stop assuming I'm straight"

"Aries" Kai whispered as his back hit the wall leaving him trapped between Aries and the white wall.

'Fuck' the smaller man cursed.

"You look so beautiful Kai" Aries said as his eyes roamed all over the man's face. "So beautiful" he said again, but this time to himself.

"Aries" Kai gasped as Aries brought his hand to the wall, trapping him between the wall and himself. His eyes moving left to right, up and down nervously as his breathing fasten trying to see push himself to the wall, hoping the wall will swallow him.

"I know it's a stupid request, but can I kiss you" the Light skin asked acting innocent, knowing deep down he was anything but that.

'this is your chance Kai' Kai heard Robert's voice in his head.

'Seriously Robby, fuck you'

'Kai, you're being sexually deprived and it's not good at all, take up this chance' his inner voice argued.

'You need to be fucked Kai.....' he was hearing Robert again in his head.

'like a slut' Kai agreed

Kai looked at Aries, he licked his lips, his heart thundering, he didn't say a word but instead he pulled Aries in for a kiss, a rough needy kiss.

Their lips collided, hungry, desperate, and electrifying.

The adrenaline rushed through Kai's veins, and he felt the familiar heat pooling in his stomach, twisting into something more urgent, more primal as he pulled the taller man closer to him.

Aries heart raced as he felt the heat radiating from Kai's small body, the magnetic pull drawing them closer to each other.

"Mmmm" Kai moaned into the kiss.

It was a kiss that spoke of the nights Aries had spent aching for it.

It was a rough meeting of mouths that conveyed a thousand unsaid words.

Aries's hands found their way to Aries cheeks, his thumbs brushing across the man's smooth skin as he deepened the kiss, surrendering to the urgency that coursed through him.

Kai responded in kind, hands tangling into Aries's hair, pulling him closer as if he were afraid to let go. There was a rawness to it, a primal connection that made Kai's entire body hum with awareness.

Their kiss was a fervent exploration, a fierce expression of pent-up desire, teeth clashing and breathless murmurs filling the air around them.

It didn't matter at this point that Kai was older than Aries with 20 years and was married, it didn't matter that Aries was his son's friend, all that mattered was the heat they felt between them.

As the kiss deepened, Aries felt a surge of emotions flooding in, relief, desire, and an overwhelming sense of possession.

He was hungry for this connection, hungry for Kai, and as he lost himself in the kiss, he finally felt whole.

He knew the man was his, he had to be his.

He was perfect, so perfect.

And here he was kissing him back.

Aries hands itched to cup the man's bum but he didn't want to step out of line.

The blond man moaned into Aries mouth when Aries bit his tongue, sucking on it as they kissed hungrily.

As if trying to release tension.

"Fuck you're so hot" Aries cursed when he pulled away from the man's lips.

"So you wanna....." Aries trailed off, hoping Kai would catch the drift.

Kai without a word dragged Aries to the room eagerly, not a care in the world.

He had a lot of tension to release.
